How Does This Broken Girl Know How to Walk on Broken Legs

A Poem by Jade

I'm a little broken girl whose doors have all been shut
I didn't come in pieces, but that's how i ended up
why does this broken girl think that everything's her fault?
she's been told so many times before, i guess it just rubbed off
I'm a little broken girl who use to be so tough
now i'm just a nothing who has to know when to give up
I'm a little broken girl with a lot of broken plans
I don't know how to speak and no one tries to understand
I'm a little broken girl who just knows how to breathe
a tiny little person that i don't want to be
I'm a memory forgotten and a shell under the sand
I'm a sheet of unmarked paper and a pair of broken hands
I'm a broken waste of body that needs to be thrown out
I have a spirit that's been broken that you'll forget about
there's a little girl inside my heart that's crying for me now
a little girl i use to be who always got turned down
shut away forever, locked in the deepest part
I'll never let her out again, it would only break her heart

Author's Note

I was going through a really rough time. the words just fell out of my mouth while i was driving home and as soon as i got there i wrote it all down on paper.

Faffy

wow, i love 2 minute poems, (written in 2mins) because all of it is just all so raw and its just pure emotion.

these were my favorite lines of all:

"a little girl i use to be who always got turned down
shut away forever, locked in the deepest part
I'll never let her out again, it would only break her heart"

because it is the strongest part, the rest of the poem is very smooth and then there is this surge of sadness i though it was brilliant.

well done=)

i look forward to reading more!
